Is the 2d command set in blitz3d the same as in blitzplus? I only have blitz3d but am programming in 2d so am i ok to carry on with this or do i need to buy blitzplus?
thanks

The 2D stuff (or should I say, non-3D stuff) of B+ is identical to B3D (at least as far as I know, I do have both).

So there is no need to buy B+ unless you want the GUI capabilites of B+ (which can come in handy creating editors and such but it isn't necessary).

BlitzPlus has no directX reliance and it has some faster pixel commands, but it's essentially the same. I'd argue that you can make better 2d games with Blitz3d as you can always step up to 2d-in-3d with fancy effects, realtime rotation and scaling with blistering speed.
